Let me start by saying "Playing for Fastball is like
no other Training Academy". I have 2 sons and have
played baseball for a lot of different travel teams and
other training facilities over the past 13 years.
Playing and training for Fastball USA is like
playing for someone who really cares about the player,
it’s like a family atmosphere both on and off the field.
Mike Ryan takes pride in his craft and works to
improve each and every player that comes through his facility.
We have trained and played for him 2 years now
and the improvement is "hands down" better than
any other place. My son has always had power,
but things are much more refined (exit speed 96 mph)
and he has more understanding behind the
science of hitting a baseball.
The videos he uses as a teaching tool break down
every part of some of the best hitters in baseball,
this is where the science comes in.
Mike also took the time to find flaws in his
throwing mechanics (infielder), this was always a
source of chronic pain. His throwing velocity has
improved (80 mph) and along with that,
the pain has been reduced.
The Explosive Hitting and Black Belt Classes
keep my son in good shape all winter long,
and get him prepared for high school tryouts
in the spring.
The Black Belt workout also keeps him healthy
all season long, which means more innings
on the field, and less on the bench.
I see other players
with all sorts of muscle injuries during the
high school season, because they aren't
prepared physically.
Last year, Mike brought in a nutritionist
and a "mindset coach", to help all the players
during the season. This was very informative
for play on the field and going forward in
everyone’s personal life, as well. You’re not
going to find this anywhere else. These are
just some of the things that set Fastball USA
apart from other training and academy facilities.
Thanks, Mike and the “Fastball Team”
